Calibrating your interactive whiteboard

The first time you connect your SMART Board interactive whiteboard, you must calibrate it. This

process ensures that the cameras accurately track your finger and the pens on the interactive

surface.

5. Use the tip of a pen tray pen to press the red targets as they appear.

Right-click button on the pen tray.

You can calibrate your interactive whiteboard at any time.

Orienting your interactive whiteboard

The orientation process ensures that the calibration coordinates are accurately associated with the

relative location of your projected image on the interactive surface. Orient your interactive whiteboard

if your projector or interactive whiteboard has moved since you last used it, or whenever the mouse

pointer isn’t properly aligned with your finger or a pen tray pen when you touch the interactive

whiteboard’s surface.
